This image depicts a detailed Nativity scene (Betlém) situated in the Church of Our Lady Victorious (Kostel Panny Marie Vítězné) in Malá Strana (Lesser Town), Prague, Czechia. The scene features a wooden stable structure with a sloped roof, partially adorned with green foliage, forming the background. The ground is covered with a layer of straw. Within the stable, the figure of Mary kneels in a blue and white robe, hands clasped in prayer, positioned to the right of an empty wooden manger filled with hay. To the left of the manger, Joseph stands in a blue tunic, hands also clasped in prayer. A brown cow stands directly behind Joseph, and a dark donkey stands behind Mary. The infant Jesus is represented by a dark fabric-lined recess containing a mirror, which reflects a detailed, light-colored overhead structure. A golden crown rests on the straw beside this recess. Several other figures populate the scene: * An older male figure with a beard and staff stands on the far left. * A younger male figure kneels in the center-left foreground. * A child figure, wearing a striped tunic, stands with outstretched arms in the mid-left. * An older male figure kneels on the far right, hands clasped. * A dark-skinned male figure, dressed in patterned clothing, stands to the far right, holding an open golden treasure chest containing numerous beads or pearls. A portion of a large elephant statue is visible behind this figure. Numerous sheep and lambs of varying sizes are scattered across the straw-covered ground, some standing, some reclining. In the lower-left foreground, a simulated campfire is constructed from logs and features a red glow.
